    Title: NESHAP for Chromium Emissions from Hard and Decorative 
Chromium Electroplating and Chromium Anodizing Tanks (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1611.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0327.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2010. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart N. 
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-time-
only report of any physical or operational changes, initial performance 
tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators are also 
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected 
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is 
inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is

[[Page 43971]]

estimated to average 75.08 hours per response. Burden means the total 
time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, 
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a 
Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; 
develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the 
purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, 
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing 
information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously 
applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently 
changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of 
information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of 
information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Hard chromium electroplating, 
decorative chromium electroplating, and chromium anodizing operations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,770.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, 
semiannually, and annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 171,118.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $31,933,586, which includes $5,383,586 
in labor costs, $0 in capital/startup costs, and $26,550,000 in 
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There was a decrease in burden hours, 
costs, and number of responses currently identified in the OMB 
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is due to a change in the number of 
estimated chromium electroplating and anodizing operations affected by 
the ICR since the last renewal which decreased from 5,020 to 1,770 
sources.

    Dated: July 19, 2010.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
